Fret hammer

Post by Steve.Toscano » Sun Feb 10, 2013 11:53 pm

The missus ran over my stew mac hammer. :evil:
Anyone know where i can buy a cheapish <$40 fret hammer (or brass faced hammer) from locally? Even second hand will do.
Not having much luck outside of the US retailers and coping high postage costs.

To cut a long story short - we had a hailstorm, she wanted to squeeze her car into the "workshop side" of our 2 car garage, somehow my fret hammer was on the ground next to the workbench (probably from the damn cat, thing loves to play with the tool wall). Honda civic 1 : hammer 0.

If it were my place that cat would really be fretting about a hammering. :evil:
